    He'll at least catch a 2 game suspension

    No. Maher and Ficken are both better than Rosas.

    He was barely better than Ficken last year and has legal issues. Pass.

    Meh.....Maher has a huge leg but really struggled with "gimmies." Would love to see a Folk like renaissance, but I'm sceptical.

    If we're looking for an upgrade at kicker, Stephen Gostkowski is still a free agent. The last time the Pats let go of a kicker, it worked out for the team who signed him (Colts with Vinatieri).

    Why did they release him?

    I always thought he was known as a top kicker, has his form dipped or did he want too much money?

    I really do not follow anything Cheats tbh.

    I’d see how Maher especially but also Ficken look in camp then make a decision before season starts.

    Maher has a huge leg, if he can rediscover his form he can be a solid kicker for us.

    This guy had a golden opportunity to tell a cop he was going to fuck the guy's wife, like dipshit Robby Anderson, but instead he ran away from trouble like HOF'er Barry Sanders. Worth a look.

    The days of signing douchebags hopefully are over. NO

    He took off running after a hit and run. Cops caught up to him 3 hrs later and he was still drunk, but cops didn't do a DWI check due to the time that elapsed.

    I heard he had a pro-bowl season sandwiched between two so-so years. He was around 80% last year.

    I'm always in agreement with not bringing douchebags into the locker room. But as far as a kicker is concerned, as long as it's not like Josh Brown kidnapping his wife and locking her in rooms and shit, I don't really mind having a DUI kicker. They're so isolated from the rest of the team it really doesn't matter to me. And he's not a wife beater or a junkie. He's just an a-hole.

    He's 36 and coming off a hip injury. But he's still higher-reward than Maher or Ficken. I think we'll end up getting outbid by a contender though.

    I went and googled it in the end, he will surely get a shot somewhere, be interesting to see if he still has it, hips are funny things.
